This will be your first hunting ground as a Master in Dark Ages, it’s the easiest to get the hang of, but don’t slack!

Grandmaster Creants

All Creants are dark defence, so either PND or Deo Searg kills them

Can be bashed with Cradh

Keep yourself and group members dioned

Paralyze Force/Suains work

Typically Dark Belts are worn for these, but stay at a distance and don’t fas anyone

Shinewood Forest

Accomplished with Cradh and Dark/Elemental/Light spells and skills, and also with decent health and/or mana points, it can be solo’d

Beets are Light defence, Mantis’ are Dark defence

In rooms 29, 31, 32 and 33 there are ‘Green’ Mantis’ (one per room). These bad boys are difficult to control; they will use Dion, Wolf Fang Fist, Pramh, Bardo, Dall and Mad Soul on their target, making you hard pressed to both retreat and confront so be careful

Keep yourself and group members dioned

Paralyze Force/Blinds/Suains work

Depending on your situation, either a LB or DB can be used, but don’t fas! They cast light and bash dark

Nobis

Accomplished with Fas/Cradh and Light spells

Can also be done with Cradh and an elemental necklace/summons

Keep yourself and group members dioned

Paralyze Force/Blinds/Suains work

An LB is used for this, though don’t fas, some mobs do attack with dark

Shinewood Forest 2

Accomplished with Fas/Cradh and Dark/Light skills/spells

Mainly hunted as a box group consisting of several Star Arrow’s and MSPG’s, Spellers, Healer, MDC, Flower, PF and Lures

Keep yourself and group members dioned

Large mobs will drain your mana should they be directly adjacent to you

Large mobs will spawn 2 offspring at red/blank health

Paralyze Force/Suains work

Light belts are used here as well, they’ll cast light and bash dark, though you don’t want to be next to these mobs anyway!

Canals

It’s most commonly solo’d by a wizard with PND, though paralyze force and/or group hide comes in really handy

Some Wiests are also able to kill in canals, both random mobs and bosses. They’re all dark defence, so Fas/Cradh and let Ard Deo Searg give you a quick ride

For the bosses, some people prefer to ungroup entirely. Don’t fret! Everyone still has an equal chance at a bag. This is due to the bosses spamming mana drains on you when you -are- grouped, though it doesn’t stop them from doing it to you at low health

Don’t Dion, they’ll ao sith you

Dark Belts are used here, keep your party fassed

The cooldown time for the bosses is 3 hours

Chaos

Accomplished with Fas/Cradh and Light spells

Can be bashed with Cradh and an elemental necklace, though at a slow pace
